Wireshark · Ethereal-users: Re: [Ethereal-users] capture preferences

[LEGO <luis.ontanon@xxxxxxxxx>]

If you're doing it as a non priviledged user, you probably have no
read access to /dev/bpf*,

You could run ethereal as root to check if it is so.

BEWARE that it is better to change the permissions of /dev/bpf so that
the group your capturte user belongs can read from /dev/bpf*.
